Krozka Sharpe - rare handmade guitar from the UK

I've not heard of Krozka Guitars before. According to the seller of this Krozka Sharpe with handwound P90 pickups, Bigsby vibrato and relic gun metal finish:

Krozka Sharpe Guitars of Northumberland, England [were] manufacturers of electric guitar originals. Founded in 2004 by Joe Krozka and Dave Sharpe, the two designers/luthiers have produced some of the UK's most original and exciting guitar designs including the Atom Ray, Raider and the Scar. All Krozka Sharpe Guitars are designed and handmade personally by Joe Krozka and Dave Sharpe, featuring their own handwound pickups.

Sadly Krozka guitars went bust and so no more of these fine instruments will be made.

Sad news indeed; we here at Guitarz are always keen to celebrate the original designs of the "little guys" of the guitar world.
